Motivated by their own children’s struggles, The Village Tutors was formed in 2004 when a group of women, formerly known as The Reading Ladies, began to provide one-on-one, evidence-based, Orton-Gillingham based support for grade-school students who struggled in reading. As these early students became middle school and high school students and their needs changed, the tutors expanded their services. Today, The Village Tutors instruct and inspire all learners, along with full academic support in the areas of active and critical reading skills; analytical and academic writing; study strategies; executive functioning/homework help; all levels of math and science; academic enrichment; AP/Honors/College Prep curricula; college essay writing and general college consulting and home-school/online coursework. We have extensive experience with standardized test prep- ISEE, Catholic High School Entrance Exam, ACT/new SAT and GRE.

The Village Tutors provide personal support for students who range in age from preschool to college. We help families navigate the best possible educational paths for their traditional or non-traditional learners. Please consider us a resource to help you meet your children’s academic and emotional needs. We have an esteemed network of professionals -- therapists, neuropsychologists, advocates, physicians, educational consultants and diagnosticians -- whom we highly recommend. We firmly believe that with evidence-based support, along with compassion and kindness, all students can discover their academic potential.

The Village Tutors are not a franchise, nor do we use a "one size fits all" approach. Families are matched with the tutor that provides the best support for that particular student. Contact or call me with questions or to set up a meeting at The Community House in Hinsdale or in Oak Park.

This year The Village Tutors will be presenting to the Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Chapter of the National Charity League on 9/22, the Everyone Reading Illinois Conference on 10/4 with Dr. Nichole Dawson on High Stakes Test Strategies, and the Hinsdale Central Parent Resource Network on 11/16 (Executive Function and Finals Prep) and 2/22/17(Writing Timed Essays-AP/ACT/SAT/DBQs).

We look forward to the opportunity to work with your family. Thank you! Suzanne Petree, Founder708-927-0187thevillagetutorshinsdale@gmail.comsuzanne.petree@gmail.com
